Practice question
An employer admits an employee earned three specified allowances and claims all were paid. It produces a voucher identifying only the first allowance and its period, with no proof concerning the other two. The employer argues that proving one payment transfers its entire burden for every admitted obligation to the employee. Is that correct?
- No; the evidence must substantiate payment of each disputed obligation it is offered to discharge
- Yes, one paid allowance proves every other payment
- Yes, the worker loses all admitted entitlements automatically
- Yes, one voucher conclusively covers every year
- Yes, allocation of proof depends only on document count
